Based in Springfield, Illinois, USA, the Bunn-O-Matic® Corporation (BUNN) has a long history of innovation expertise in coffee brewing. Founded in 1957 by George Bunn, who pioneered the flat-bottom commercial paper coffee filter, and, later, the pourover coffee brewer, the family business has been credited with introducing many other innovations and key technologies to the beverage equipment industry.
The LCR-3 HV, BUNN’s new high-volume liquid coffee dispenser, brings a new level of ease and convenience to serving large amounts of coffee with easy cost-effective operations, electronic controls, and many other unique features. Its stainless steel outer cabinet allows the unit to easily fit into a commercial kitchen environment.
Minimal operator training is required since the LCR-3 HV can dispense up to three separate types of coffee. The unit can also be set up to yield three separate portions at the push of a button, allowing staff to fill carafes, cambros, or other large servers (up to five gallons or 18.9 litres at a time) effortlessly. In addition, the dispenser’s display alerts the operator when concentrate is low or cleaning is needed.
Labor costs are reduced through the optional "auto-switching" mode. This mode allows the operator to choose two pumps to dispense one flavor. When one bag-in-box (BIB) is detected empty, the system automatically switches to a secondary BIB. This eliminates the need to change a BIB during peak demands. There are no filters or grounds to handle, so labor costs are further reduced. In addition, storage costs are reduced since coffee extract requires less storage space than roast ground coffee.
Since only the coffee required is dispensed, the LCR-3 HV eliminates waste, stale or burnt coffee. Product life is extended and degradation reduced through the unit’s refrigerated product storage cabinet. Its modular refrigeration element is easy to service and keeps concentrate at a temperature of 41o to 65 oF (5° to 18.3°C), although the environment outside the dispenser might reach 95°F (35°C).
Multi-volt design is easily converted to ratings from 120/208 and 120/240 volts (50-60 Hertz) single phase up to a 120/208 three phase.

The new BUNN TDO Narrow Iced Beverage Dispensers can double the number of cold drinks offered in limited counter space. Available in both a 3.5 and 4.0 gallon size, these versatile dispensers can serve iced tea, iced coffee, juice, lemonade, sweet tea . . . almost any cold beverage. Two dispensers, placed side-by-side, more than double the capacity of a standard cold beverage dispenser.
Other features on TDO Narrow dispensers are:
Front - back handles so the dispensers take up less space
8" (20.3cm) cup clearance
Either 3.5 gallon (13.2L) or 4 gallon (15.1L) capacity
The 4-gallon dispenser has an integrated lid retainer to prevent tampering, three and four-gallon indicators and an integrated drip tray. The TDO-4-N can be used with a 3-gallon BUNN iced tea brewer (TB-3 or TB-3Q) by purchasing a special Locator Guide (available from BUNN).
Frozen Beverages in a Fraction of the Space with Ultra-1
The Ultra-1 Gourmet Ice® dispenser allows operators to make wonderful frozen beverages in just 8 inches (20.1 cm) of counter space. A patented reversing auger speeds freeze time and reduces air mixing. This easy-to-program unit has a touchpad display, enhanced "no lube" three-piece faucet, and an internally monitored refrigeration system for prolonged performance. One large, 3-gallon (11.4 litre) hopper provides optimum cooling and serving capacity. The touchpad display guides cleaning and preventive maintenance.
Like the other BUNN Gourmet Ice® dispensers, the Ultra-1 has a full 3-year parts and labor warranty on the electronics and a 5-year parts warranty on the compressor. It is sanitation listed by NSF to Standard 18 (includes dairy and alcohol) and safety listed to ETL to UL Standard (UL 471) and CSA Standard (C22.2 No. 120). Stainless/white, black and stainless, and all-black models are available in 120 and 230 volt configurations.

The new BUNN SmartWAVE low profile brewer, at 17 inches in height, fits under a standard cabinet, making it an excellent choice for an office coffee setting. Turbulence is an important element in brewing perfect coffee. To enhance this, SmartWAVE technology was developed to provide uniformity of extraction and more contact between water and coffee. The result is a great cup of coffee.
The adjustable legs and slide out tray make it possible to brew into 1.9 liter thermal carafes as well as a variety of lever-action and push-button airpots. Easily transport these to remote serving areas and keep coffee hot and fresh for hours.
BUNN offers a Silver Series® version with analog switches, accompanied by red/green LED for programming and brewing status. Choose from three pulse brew routines to adjust the coffee flavor profile.
BrewMETER™ and pulse brew give control over the extraction time adjusting the coffee flavor profile for the standard SmartWAVE models. It also utilizes the same red/green LED read-out for brewer status. Energy-saver mode, standard on all models, reduces tank temperature during idle periods.

Hot and Cold Espresso Beverages at the Touch of a Button
Dispense both hot and cold espresso beverages at the touch of a button with the newest model in BUNN"s line of superautomatic espresso machines: the Tiger XL Cool Froth®. This small (16 inches wide) machine can deliver incredibly rich and creamy espresso, cappuccino, latte and iced cappuccino or latte at a rate of up to 100 eight-ounce drinks per hour.
The unit's double hopper holds up to 1.5 lbs. of fresh beans, so that two separate kinds of espresso can be used. After the beans are ground, an intelligent modular brewing chamber adjusts espresso flavor, simulating the motion of a barista tamping and polishing the grind, so that espresso is extracted uniformly for optimum flavor. A pod brewing option is also available for preparing low demand drinks like decaf espresso or a unique blend.
Beverages in cups ranging from 4.5 to 7.38 inches tall can be served from the Tiger Cool Froth. The easy-to-use control panel guides the user through simple steps for making exceptional espresso beverages, while the semi-automated cleaning cycle makes daily cleaning easy for the operator.
Rich milk foam for cappuccino or latte is delivered by an innovative method that does not inject steam or water to dilute the foam. The Cool Froth is available with an internal chilled storage system that holds 1 gallon (4 litres) of milk (Tiger XL Cool Froth). A model is also available that does not contain the milk storage, so external milk storage is required (Tiger XL Cool Froth EXT).
The Tiger is also available in the one-step superautomatic M Series for hot espresso beverages and the two-step S Series, featuring a steam wand with a temperature sensor to prevent overheating of milk. On the S Series, the internal milk foamer is replaced by an external steam wand for maximum operator control and a stage for milk preparation to engage the consumer.
All BUNN Espress® Tiger models are supported by a full two-year parts and one-year labor warranty. The BUNNserve® nationwide network backs the Tiger with unequaled support and service.

The Titan brews two, three-gallon (11.4L) servers of perfect coffee in six minutes or less, so that you can provide coffee in even the most high-volume serving environments. The Titan Dual brews 34.3 gallons (129.8 litres) of coffee per hour.
The Titan provides total coffee flavor management. Pre-infusion, pulse brew variable by-pass and digital temperature control combine for ideal coffee extraction.

The LCD screen and touchpad provide step-by-step programming and diagnostics. Brew volumes, tank temperature, cold brew lockout and all other adjustments are right at your fingertips.
The Titan's large brew funnels are capable of holding up to 28 ounces of ground coffee and include the BUNN SplashGard® for safety. For smaller batches, the brew funnels come equipped with filter paper retainer rings, which keep the filter paper from folding in. Electronic funnel locks come standard to prevent removal of the funnel while brewing.
The 3-gallon ThermoFresh® servers are insulated to keep coffee hot for hours. The 7.9-inch faucet cup clearance allows coffee to be dispensed into a variety of thermal carafes and cup sizes. Custom server merchandising programs are available too.

Food and beverage preparation just got easier with the introduction of the five-gallon H5E-DV PC portion control hot water system. The H5E-DV PC dispenses hot water in three portion sizes at operator-set, precise temperatures between 65°F-205°F (18.3°C-96.1°C) to ensure consistent water temperature. The operator can determine portion size and set it easily with front of machine volume programming. Three separate portion sizes can be dispensed with a push-and-hold continuous dispense button.
All BUNN hot water dispensers allow hot water to be located at the food preparation site, increasing the speed, safety and efficiency of kitchen staff. Large amounts of mashed potatoes, gravy, cheese sauce, gelatin, oatmeal, and many more foods can be prepared quickly using these systems.

BUNN Successfully Completes ISO 9001:2000 Triennial Assessment
SPRINGFIELD, IL – The Bunn-O-Matic Corporation, a manufacturer of commercial and home beverage equipment, has announced that its facilities in Creston, Iowa; Springfield, Illinois and White Hall, Illinois facilities have successfully passed ISO 9001:2000 Triennial Assessment. All ISO registered companies must pass this complete audit of all aspects of Quality Management System once every three years in order to continue their registration.
The ISO 9000 series standards are internationally recognized quality management system requirements developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The standards emphasize on quality commitment and planning by top management and all employees. This “system input, system output” approach is measured and evidence of system performance must be demonstrated.
BUNN began the registration process in 1998. The White Hall, Illinois facility was added to the registration in 2003. As part of the process, Underwriters Laboratories (UL) performed an on-site assessment, examination of documented procedures and a survey of the company’s overall operations. To determine continued compliance with ISO 9001:2000, UL will periodically conduct routine surveillance audits of BUNN’s operations.
The successful completion of the Triennial Assessment was made possible by the ongoing and sustained efforts of BUNN employees to continually improve the Quality Management System. At the core of these improvement efforts is the belief that we must understand the customer's, both internal and external, requirements and complete the job right the first time. A key component of the ISO registration is an ongoing program of internal audits conducted by Bunn-O-Matic internal auditors to both educate affected parties to the standards, and, to assure compliance with ISO 9001:2000.
